I'm sitting here thinking about projects, wishing I could fire up a new VM and install Debian while I sit here on the couch. Then I would have a fresh VM ready to go after I recover from sitting on the couch.

Unfortunately the web GUI is not very mobile friendly. Or maybe it is and I just suck at it.

I realize I could have templates and stuff ready to go, but that would require foresight.

And I am just a guy sitting on a couch.

TIL that a proxmox app exists. Thanks!

[-] sailingbythelee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

This is fantastic. Thanks.

This is incredible. I had no idea. I can't figure out how to create new vms or lxcs though ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I don't think you can via the mobile app. It's more for management of existing stuff. I think it would be really complicated to replicate the UI for machine creation.

Setup a virtual desktop on your server and RDP into it to access the web interface. Here is me doing that using my cat as a stand lol.

[-] randombullet@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

How the fuck did you do that?

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Step 1: get a cat

Step 2: ???

Profit!

Step 0: pile of raw meat in backyard

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Kasmweb in a docker with a FF workspace is how I do it, but this one looks like a RDP session to a Windows box/VM.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

There are a few ways. What does your setup look like?

[-] randombullet@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

It's really simple. Hardly use it for any heavy lifting.

I use Proxmox to play with VMs and Open Media Vault on top to be my NAS.

I've done RDP, but figured that it could only be done on desktop.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

I would get a GPU for VFIO and then setup sunshine for streaming. Sunshine won't work well over really slow connections or connections with high latency but it will allow for a good gaming experience.

[-] randombullet@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Should I get a GPU that supports vGPUs or you mean like a GPU passthrough to the VM?

Everything is wired in my house so thankfully it's pretty fast.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

Unless you want multiple VMs to share a GPU passthough is fine.

[-] randombullet@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

How can a consumer GPu be used across multiple VMs?

Sorry if it's a dumb question. I've never messed with GPUs. 90% of the things I do is headless and through CLI.

[-] mikyopii@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Under hardware > display there is an option for VirtiO-GPU and VirGL-GPU. I'm not super knowledgeable but I think these options allows VMs to make system calls to the GPU. I put an ancient Quadro in my server and my RDP sessions were noticeably better.

[-] randombullet@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is fantastic. Thank you. I'll probably get a low powered quadro then.

Or maybe is Radeon Pro better?

[-] mikyopii@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

My GPU is quite literally 15 or 16 years old (I pulled it out of an old server that was being trashed). If you aren't going to do heavy graphical work and just want to spruce up your desktop performance then really anything is probably fine.

I think both these options require downloading additional libraries on your Proxmox host to work.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

I have no idea to be perfectly honest

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Step 1: enable Remote Desktop in Windows

Step 2: download a Remote Desktop app from app store

Step 3: use the app to login to the Windows box

Step 4: profit

[-] ggnoredo@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Windows lol

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm here to collect your cat tax.

Also, for us non-Windows folks, just set up a VNC server and do the same thing.

[-] mikyopii@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago
[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you, you may proceed!

[-] Saff@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

There is an iOS app I discovered yesterday called ProxMate, and it seems pretty nice!

[-] ezekielmudd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Most excellent! ๐Ÿคฉ

Instant Lifetime Purchase! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

Thank you!!!

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Well, mobile sucks for most stuff, just because of size. I'd prefer to have simpler interface, with (as you mentioned), pre-defined routines/actions.

Or just use ssh, since command line is a lot easier on mobile for stuff like this.

I guess having more pages with fewer objects could make for a better mobile experience.

[-] ssdfsdf3488sd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

In firefox on android i just flip the switch to request desktop site amd its mostly fine...

[-] Turbo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Same.. a bit of screen scrolling to get what I need but did the trick in a pinch!

[-] minnix@lemux.minnix.dev 5 points 2 years ago
[-] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Not available for current versions of Android. On v 14 and I can't install it.

[-] minnix@lemux.minnix.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I'm currently using it on v14, works fine.

At least with Openwrt it is functional
